Selman Breitman Expands Presence In Pacific Northwest

LOS ANGELES, June 2, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Selman Breitman LLP has expanded its footprint in the Pacific Northwest by opening a Seattle office and by adding two attorneys, Peter Mintzer and Justin Landreth to its ranks.  This expansion, which creates Selman Breitman's sixth office, will service the Firm's clients in the insurance, business litigation, toxic tort/environmental, product liability, and trucking, transportation and emerging technology sectors.

"The business environment in the Pacific Northwest presents an exciting opportunity for the Firm to grow and expand its presence," said Neil Selman the Firm's Managing Partner.  "Peter and Justin are highly regarded additions to our team, and we look forward to their contributions."

Mintzer, who will chair the Firm's Pacific Northwest Insurance Practice Group, has been a Seattle-based attorney for two dozen years and represents insurers in complex insurance coverage matters, including bad faith litigation, and has experience in environmental pollution, toxic torts, construction defect, product defect/recall and professional liability. He also frequently defends insureds and self-insured entities.

"Washington State's regulatory environment presents a unique challenge for insurance companies," said Mintzer.  "Given our experience representing insurers, and as our caseload increases in the region, we are uniquely qualified and positioned to successfully advise and navigate our clients through those challenges as the Firm has done in California and Nevada."

Mintzer and Landreth join Linda Wendell Hsu, Mark Inbody, and Galina Jakobson as Washington-licensed Selman Breitman attorneys.  Mintzer is also licensed in Idaho, Oregon, Alaska and Hawaii. Landreth is also licensed in New York, Maryland and the District of Columbia.

Selman Breitman's Seattle office is located at 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 4100, and is serving clients in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska and British Columbia. Headquartered in Los Angeles, the Firm's presence in the emerging tech scene, Silicon Beach, provides the backbone for servicing Seattle's re-emerging tech scene.
